When life gives you lemons, make Jennifer Aniston’s iconic salad—with a few Epicure adjustments, of course! Our Dressing Mixes already have mint and oregano in the blend, so you can skip the fresh herbs. Plus, we’ve swapped in quinoa for an easy-to-prepare, high-fibre grain.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup uncooked quinoa
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tbsp SPG Seasoning
  • 1 English cucumber
  • 1 small red onion
  • 2 lemons or 1⁄4 cup lemon juice
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Greek Dressing Mix or Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing Mix
  • 2 cans (14 oz/398 ml each) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 1⁄2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Toppings (optional): chopped pistachios or slivered almonds

Preparation

  1. In Multipurpose Steamer, combine quinoa, water, and seasoning. Cover and microwave on high 12 min, or until tender. Fluff with a fork.
  2. Meanwhile, dice cucumber and red onion.
  3. In a large bowl, squeeze in lemon juice and whisk with oil and dressing mix. Add cooked quinoa, diced veggies, chickpeas, and spinach; toss to combine. Top with feta.
  4. Serve immediately or store for up to 5 days in an air-tight container in the fridge.
